Demons

Alone in darkness
Patiently I wait with my mysery,
I focuss on the illusions,
Because I can not escape from my reality.
I run my fingers through my hair,
A frustration created through my own devise.
Shadows dancing everywhere
Resurfacing I feel my old demons rise..
Haunting me, whispering
Run away you will be ok

Runaway
Forget the past and everything that is broke or hurt
You will be okay
Dont shove it all inside that only makes it worst
I hold my own
Simply just to save myself
A repercussion of my darkest soul
The reason why I walk alone
So stay away

Only the dark is an illusion. Well expressed dark thoughts; don't dwell on them though now.

fjames, you ask for my thoughts, here they are: you matter how far you run, there you are. So, you might as well face your fears, self fullfilled, as fears always are, pick 'em up, turn 'em around, totally examine 'em. then see them for what they are, shadows...without substance, the demons simply vanish when you cease to acknowledge their power on you. Don't "Stay Away" ;-)
